When you print a job on a Xerox printer, you enter a specific START command to run the job. The START command specifies the starting JDL and JDE pair to use for the job; the JDL and JDE specify the characteristics of the job. For example, they can specify an initial set of fonts and whether duplexing is in effect. They can also specify carriage control assignments and the delimiters that identify Dynamic Job Descriptor Entry (DJDE) commands. You might have a single START command that applies to all jobs, or several START commands that apply to specific jobs. When you submit a job to Infoprint XT, you pass this same information to the data stream converter by using Infoprint XT conversion parameters. For more information, see these:

• Conversion parameters for converting Xerox jobs, which describes the Infoprint XT parameters that you pass to the data stream converter.
• Data stream converter messages: 5019-nnn X (xxx), which describes the messages that the data stream converter issues.
